Li Guoping's team successfully took control of the Japanese material warehouse, annihilated a Japanese team, and seized a team's equipment.
There are too many supplies in the warehouse, so they will not take care of it for the time being. Instead, they will take over the defense of the warehouse and wait for the battle elsewhere to end.
Less than half an hour after they took control of the warehouse, fierce gunfire came from the direction of the Japs Squadron camp. This was the first battalion of the Second Preliminary Regiment launching an attack on the Japs at the agreed time.
After the warehouse is under control, there will be no worries. One main battalion will deal with the two Japanese squads and the squadron headquarters. If there is an accident, Lin Xiaofeng, the leader, can take the blame for the cook.
Ma Dahu's team also helped them clear the outer security posts, allowing the first battalion of the Second Preliminary Regiment to get within thirty meters of the Japanese camp and surround it.
Following Lin Xiaofeng's order, more than 700 people in the battalion threw a grenade into the Japanese barracks.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
More than 700 grenades suddenly fell from the sky, completely stunning the sleeping Japanese soldiers. The houses in the camp were blown into ruins, and a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed and injured.
"Bagaya Road, enemy attack!"
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Another round of grenades came down overwhelmingly, and the prodigal Lin Xiaofeng was preparing to solve the battle with grenades!
After two rounds of more than a thousand grenades exploded, there were few intact houses in the Japanese camp. This was a large house that Mr. Yang spent a lot of money to build;
After he was repaired, he didn't enjoy much before he was requisitioned by the Japanese. Now, he was completely blown up by the Eighth Route Army!
Lin Xiaofeng was one of the first platoon leaders of the Old Seventh Company. He was as senior as Li Qing in the Independent Brigade. Zhang Yu and Yan Haoyu were still squad leaders at that time.
It can be said that his fighting style was all learned from Chu Xiong. Those who can be solved with firepower will never let the soldiers take risks;
If troops were sent to storm the Japs camp, although the mansion could be saved, the casualties among the soldiers would definitely be much greater. After all, there were more than a hundred Japs living inside, and a melee would inevitably cause a lot of casualties. Lin Xiaofeng would not risk it. This risk.
The artillery shells of the eastward column were basically consumed in Luohan Valley, but there were still a lot of grenades, so Lin Xiaofeng chose to use grenades to wash the ground, and the effect was very good.
Two grenades for each person in the battalion were thrown into the Japanese camp from all directions. There were almost no blind spots. It was still terrifying for more than a thousand grenades to explode in a camp;
The entire courtyard was almost razed to the ground, and every tenth Japanese living in it was stunned by the bombing!
After the explosion, send another team in to kill the dozen or so surviving Japs, while also finishing up the injured Japs.
This battle took less than half an hour from start to finish, which also included the time to replenish the wounded soldiers.
"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the battlefield has been cleaned. More than 80 intact corpses of Japanese soldiers have been found. More than 70 intact long and short guns have been seized. More than 500 grenades, more than 20,000 bullets, and 7 grenade launchers have been seized. Other materials have not yet been counted. When we came out, only three of our troops were injured."
Tian Jiakun, the commander of the first battalion, reported excitedly that he now admired his regimental commander with all his heart.
"Old Tian, don't look at me with such admiration, keep a low profile!
A big courtyard was razed to the ground by us, and I don’t know how to explain it to the brigade commander.”
Lin Xiaofeng spent too long with Chu Xiong. He imitated Chu Xiong in many things, even the tone of his speech was a bit similar.
Tian Jiakun was one of the first 200 cadres supported by Commander Chen. Now, almost all of their cadres are battalion and company commanders, and they are the backbone of the independent brigade.
Battalion Commander Tian was still not used to the commander's nonsensical way of speaking. He didn't know how to answer the question, so he just smiled and stood there.
"I said, Lao Tian, why are you just standing there? Go ahead and do what you have to do. I also have to think about how to report to the brigade commander. I will get scolded!"
After Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, he walked away with a smile, not looking like he was going to be scolded at all.
After daybreak, Chu Xiong led the First Battalion and the Artillery Battalion of the Third Preliminary Regiment into the town, and then went to see the Japanese camp with Yan Haoyu, Zhao Hui, Lin Xiaofeng and others. Sure enough, as Lin Xiaofeng said, Chu Xiong scolded Lin Xiaofeng. pause.
"Xiaofeng, you are really a prodigal son. What a wonderful house you have, but you are buried with these devils!
I heard that your kid also planted more than a thousand grenades. You really don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.”
Lin Xiaofeng acted as if he didn't hear it. He didn't see any distress on the brigade commander's face. When had the brigade commander ever felt sorry for ammunition during a war?
"Brigadier, I will pay attention to saving ammunition in the future. I heard that Li Guoping has taken over the entire Japanese supply warehouse. How about we go take a look together and let the troops replenish some grenades?"
"Let me tell you, Lin Xiaofeng, when you were washing the ground with grenades last night, you thought about going to the Japanese supply warehouse to replenish it, right?
Look at you, after spending more than 1,500 grenades, you captured more than 500, and lost 1,000 grenades. Even if you are asked to fight like this, no matter how rich your fortune is, you will lose it! "
"Yan Haoyu, don't gloat about your misfortune. You are the same as him. You attacked the 8th Brigade in a sneak attack and killed all the rockets. You are also a prodigal."
Now the two brothers no longer have to laugh at each other.
The group of people quickly arrived at the supplies warehouse. After seeing the supplies in the warehouse, Chu Xiong stopped talking. There was only one reason - they had made a lot of money.
"Brothers, can you stop acting like you've never seen the world before, opening your mouths so wide that you can stuff eggs in them!
Isn't it just a warehouse of supplies? As for making it look like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden? "
Although Chu Xiong said it lightly, he was already happy in his heart;
The ammunition of the eastward column had been almost exhausted after the battle at Luohan Valley. To him, this material warehouse was like a pillow for sleep.
"Yan Haoyu, you lead a platoon to count the amount of materials in the warehouse as soon as possible. I want to know it well;
We will collect supplies as a company in an hour. The Japanese will not give us too much time! "
Half an hour later, Yan Haoyu finished counting the supplies and reported to Chu Xiong:
"Brigadier Commander, the statistics are out, there are 1,500 rounds of 105 mm heavy artillery shells, 5,000 rounds of 90 mm mortar shells, more than 12,000 rounds of 92 infantry artillery shells, more than 50,000 grenades, more than 1,000 boxes of various types of bullets, and more than 500 boxes of canned beef. …”
Not to mention that Lin Xiaofeng and others were dumbfounded, Chu Xiong was also a little dumbfounded, this was too much!
He estimated that this would be enough supplies for at least ten days and a half for more than 10,000 Japanese troops. The Japanese middle route army was the 36th Division;
Without this batch of supplies, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Now Chuxiong is also worried about how to get rid of so many supplies. The news that Fuhu Town has been captured will reach the 36th Division in less than a day, and at the latest two days, the main force of the Japanese will arrive, leaving little time for the eastward column. too much!
"Haoyu, order the troops to come over in company units to replenish supplies. Each person has 8 grenades, 150 rounds of ammunition, and 10 cans of beef. Don't bring too much, as it will easily affect the troop's mobility!
Each mortar only needs 60 rounds of shells, so be quick! "
